This "anticheat" bans normal players too. I have alot of friends that jitterclick and they have been banned from badlion for this shitty "anticheat" , if they put it on mcsg there would be less hackers and less good players because banned for no reason.
Plz don't add that shitty plugin
Though, people would like to believe a system like Badlion's anticheat would be effective, it is just not pratical. You see, as previously stated here, anticheat produces a lot of false positives and so does MCGamer's XAC. Imagine all the unfair bans that would exist due to false positives if XAC was relied on to ban. It is near impossible to produce a anti-cheat plugin that will not produce false positives.

Having just been banned for "noSlowDown" I would say that this ban system is kind of flawed too.
How come lag doesn't get accounted for??
I'm not even gonna bother redirecting to the ban appeal section because I'll be declined for insufficient evidence (I wasn't recording at the time and I haven't even been told which game I was accused in.
As you can see I'm angry.
I was doing well at Pvp for once and I got banned because of a raging 12 year old.
Smh

It's just hard finding the right balance between "no-cheat" software and coding and the good hit detection and gameplay on MCSG. The devs have to pick one or the other and do there best to find a middle ground and I think the gameplay is way more important. The moderators work tirelessly and overall I feel the number of hackers is slowly decreasing. Might not be true but it's what I've seen lately.

Not many people know specifically how anticheat works, but it's accurate. Unfortunately it's also very paranoid and can cause tons of controversy over its previously found false bans.

What we need over here is an upgraded version of Xime, our own plugin (because you can't just copy others), that is more accurate and can post lists or predictions of players that have set off tons of triggers for mods to go look out for. Well, we already have that second part but it's only efficient if the anticheat works well, which ours isn't at that efficiency yet.

Our anticheat does not know how to detect the more silent clients, so ghost clients are hardly detectable here, whereas on Badlion and Kohi they are found out much easier.

Basically, we need a more "paranoid" anticheat.

I remember when the devs tried something similar on the test network and everyone got banned if they clicked really quick. It was quite humorous.

Personally I would have to say that our Anti-Cheat plugin on the MCGamer Network is a good one. It catches many hack-related clients that could be used on our network otherwise. We are working to progress the plugin to other ghost clients and clients that are harder to notice. It's a work in progress. If MCGamer would "bribe" the Devs of BadLion for their plugin, MCGamer would have a lawsuit and chances are both servers would become much more minimized and have the potential to go down. Personally I do not think that BadLion's No Cheat is a 100% fool-proof plugin as ghost clients are ghost clients and as it is said in the name, they are engineered to not be noticed and many good players are banned from BadLion because of how fast they click. Both servers have amazing PvPer's who try whatever it takes to win the game. Specifically jitter-clicking. I hope this made sense LOL
